The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of CB-839 in combination with nivolumab for patients with advanced/metastatic clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC), melanoma, and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. CB-839 is a drug designed to stop cancer growth by blocking glutaminase activity. Glutaminase is an enzyme in the body that is overproduced by some cancers and can fuel cancer growth. Nivolumab is a drug that makes cancer cells more vulnerable to attack by working with your bodys own immune system.
